The problem is there is no consistency
One person gets a heavy sentence then in the next county someone gets a light one the yet somewhere else they get a slap on the hand and told to move on. Here is the latest ruling
This one says LIFE but then later the ruling is implied it maybe reduced to 5 years ?

His felony conviction of unlawfully killing wildlife could be dismissed after he completes two years of probation.
Shepherd's hunting privileges could be reinstated if he completes the requirements of his sentence.
Stegner says he won't allow that for at least five years.
Shepherd admitted he killed one bear and three deer, and, according to court documents, was suspected in other cases.
